I can't really see MLSE allowing anyone else access to their captive fans and license to print money.
The first one is a good point, though do not underestimate the money that Toyota, Sleemans and the insurance companies can put forward. I also imagine some companies down the road in Hamilton would sign up for season tickets. Also is Winnipeg&environs, MB bigger or richer than RoW+Guelph+Hamilton+London+Western GTA? Absolutely not.
Your second point, however is actually an argument in favour of KW since it falls outside the exclusion zone which Hamilton doesn't.
Lastly I fully expect that if this ever happens anywhere in the GTA it would be against the protestations of MLSE.
I think there is 50-50 chances the extension will happen, but Markham or Mississauga and even Hamilton are likelier destinations. However stranger things have happened, e.g. Atlanta has had two kicks at the can.
